Volunteer Endowment for Patient Support (VEPS)

The Volunteer Endowment for Patient Support (VEPS) was established by volunteers to benefit MD Anderson patients. Founded in 1991, VEPS grew out of a vision to raise funds to improve the quality of life of patients and their families. The VEPS Disbursement Committee equitably distributes funds originating from the accrued interest of the Volunteer Endowment for Patient Support to meet the social, emotional, comfort, informational, and recreational needs of patients at MD Anderson Cancer Center.
